Alltown Fresh, the fresh convenience market, has opened its newest location in Schenectady, New York. Located at 1410-1424 Erie Blvd., the new market features fresh food choices and made-to-order meals including organic, natural, gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options made with locally sourced ingredients.
To commemorate the opening of the new location, Alltown Fresh planned an outdoor “Fresh Launch” event open to the public where guests could taste the menu of fresh eats, get a discount on fuel and pick up various giveaways.
“We are extremely excited to bring the Alltown Fresh concept to Schenectady. The opening of this location marks our fifth new store in under two years and our first market in New York. Our core belief is that nobody should have to sacrifice healthy, fresh food options for convenience, therefore each item on our menu is carefully selected to meet the needs of our guests,” said Eric Slifka, CEO of Global Partners LP. “We understand how difficult the past few months have been, and our team was quick to implement contactless ways to shop including curbside pickup of our entire menu, crates of fresh groceries and meal prep kits. Given the current times are still uncertain, we hope the Schenectady community can look to us to pick up their morning coffee ahead of a video conference or call ahead to order dinner for their family.”
The new 4,800-square-foot market focuses on creating an elevated, farmstand-like experience by providing a menu of healthy options such as made-to-order all-day breakfast, fresh salads, smoothies, sandwiches, bowls and more. Guests have endless options such as the “Southwest Scramble” made with cage-free eggs with cream, roasted peppers, corn, onions, cilantro, lime, black bean smash and salsa roja, or they can opt for the “Fresh Falafel” filled with vegetables including eggplant, arugula, tomato and cucumber, along with falafel fritters, garlic hummus and zhoug on a whole wheat wrap.
Alltown Fresh also features organic fair-trade coffee with locally roasted beans from Connecticut featuring custom blends from around the world. The beans are pressed on-demand under five bars of pressure for maximum flavor, then brewed to guests’ taste.
In addition, Alltown Fresh features outdoor seating, groceries, WiFi, pet relief areas, traditional snack options and phone charging stations.
Alltown Fresh in Schenectady will be open daily 24/7. The kitchen will be open 6 a.m.-4 p.m.
As part of the Global Partners LP family of brands, Waltham, Massachusetts-based Alltown Fresh is the first fresh convenience market in America to offer fresh food choices, as well as gas/diesel, a cafe, bean-to-cup coffee, outdoor seating, groceries, craft beer (where permitted), Wi-Fi, pet relief areas, traditional snack options, and phone and electric car charging stations where possible.
